Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013034355A1] The invention relates to a bearing or force transmission component (1, 2) having at least one load receiving region (2) having a longitudinal axis (L). According to the invention, the load receiving region (2) and remaining component (1) are designed as one piece and a rounded cross-section transition (4) having a cross-section surface growing along a sleeve curve (6, 7, 8) between the load receiving region (2) and the remaining component (1) is arranged between the load receiving region (2) and remaining component (1). The bearing or force transmission component is characterized in that the course of the sleeve curve of the cross-section transition (4) along the longitudinal axis (L) of the load receiving region (2) corresponds with a partial ellipse (8) at least in sections, wherein the length ratio between the longer (b) and the shorter ellipse half-axis (a) is equal to the Euler number e. The invention enables a reduction of the material and notch stresses occurring in the region of the cross-section transition, and thus the frequency of failures. According to the invention, the service life of highly stressed bearing or force transmitting components can thus be increased and/or the component sizing accordingly reduced. Lighter and more economical materials or production methods can be electively used with component sizing remaining unchanged.
